    I agree 100% I just found one for $261 used in great shape... On a crop sensor you can zoom to 750mm which I have with my Nikon D5300 from my late twin as well as a full sensor Sony camera but could not swing the high cost to get a zoom for it... I love the lens and even though I am a petite lady of 60, I can handle the weight just fine..getting beautiful hummingbird in flight photos. All kinds of birds and I just got it this week.

    Dear Girish , I am watching your videos on u tube ,which always increase my knowledge and moral too.I am having D500 and 200 500 lens, I am enjoying it, but one of my friend said that go for 500 prime.. is is worth. Just because my age (66).Kindly guide me.

    • @TheOpenImage
      @TheOpenImage Před měsícem

      Hi, if you can afford the 500 f/5.6 PF lens, it's a wonderful lens and incredibly small and light for a 500 prime lens. 500 f/4 prime lenses are expensive and heavy but have their own advantages, especially in low light. If you're interested in clicking birds, the 500 PF lens offers more versatility, especially since it makes it so convenient to use it hand held. However if you're interested in clicking animals also on Jeep safaris, the 200-500 offers a larger range of focal lengths which is important because many times 500mm is too much zoom - for example when a tiger is crossing the track close to your Jeep. Thanks for watching my videos are commenting, I appreciate it 😊

    SO well said! I agree with you 100% about Nikon (and other camera makers) forcing people to buy expensive mirrorless cameras that are new and have more megapixels, but sometimes come with lower capabilities than the "old" DSLRs like the D500. I had though that there was no better choice that to buy a still-expensive Z6ii which has poor autofocus, but now I am encouraged to look more at the D500 - used and old, but not necessarily worse.

    Hi there! I have two questions related to this and Live View. When I take a picture in Live View the screen goes black while it processes the picture. Do you experience the same thing? When in Live View I also can't seem to enable AI Servo. The camera stays in One Shot while in Live View, but does have AI Servo available when shooting through the view finder. I've only had my 7D Mark II for a few days, but I do have a 5D Mark IV, and the screen stays lit up when shooting in Live View, and AI Servo is a selectable option in both Live View and OVF shooting. I'm hoping you can give me some helpful insight here!

    • @TheOpenImage
      @TheOpenImage Před 5 měsíci

      I too used to use a gimbal and rely too much on a bean bag when I first got this lens. But then I realised that the best way to maximise the efficiency of this lens is to use it handheld. That’s because its VR is so good that I can click super sharp photographs even at 1/60th of a second. The key here is to learn how to hold your camera setup with your elbows tucked in and resting on your body so that all the weight is taken off your arms.

      Thank you for the answer. It doesn't work, the autofocus is almost unable to focus: the sigma 150-600 c + canon tc 1.4X are not made to be used together with a 7D mark ii :) autofocus does not work at F9. strangely, it works very well with a canon 5d mark iv which, as with the central collimator of the 7d mark ii, allows focusing up to F8.
